[Python-apps-team] Bug#533282: pylint: AttributeError on program invocation

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: pylint
Version: 0.18.0-1
Severity: important

Somehow pylint does not work anymore.

$ pylint test.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pylint", line 3, in <module>
    from pylint import lint
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/pylint/lint.py", line 31, in <module>
    from pylint.checkers import utils
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/pylint/checkers/utils.py", line 29, in <module>
    FOR_NODE_TYPES = (astng.For, astng.Comprehension)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Comprehension'
$

It still somewhat works using python2.6 /usr/bin/pylint. Using python2.6
shows tons of these though:

Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object' in <some python object> ignored
